When it came to choosing the interior colour
palette, the owners say they took several factors
into consideration. It needed to work with their
art collection and, with three sons, they wanted
a durable paint surface.
With these things in mind, Resene Ash – a
smoky grey with a hint of green – was chosen
for most walls in the family areas. In the formal
living room it is paired with an accent wall in
Resene Spanish Green, which Resene describes
as a marinade of mellow green hues. Here, it
forms a backdrop for the entertainment unit.
